Random thoughts, again...

Do you see that tiny black speck on the sign?It is a huge Raven, but you can't tell, because Ihave a camera that is a point and shoot and afterusing said camera for a month, I want the real thing,you know a camera with lens' and stuff. A real camera.However, those cost a lot of money and I can not buyone for a while, so you will have to put up with myphotos of tiny ravens :-).I had a great couple days cleaning and painting. It feltgood to work on my real work. The painting is still amonth or so from being done, but it is starting to look likesomething now. I also watched movies. I am a movie addict.I love a good movie and a good book more than men :-).I watched "Eastern Promises" again. I had to because I amin love with Viggo Mortensen. I mean this guy is a wonder.He speaks a zillion languages, he paints, he is a photographer,and a jazz musician and a horseman. Just to name a few thingsI love about him and he is also beautiful. I have left Johnny Deppand I now live with Viggo :-).In other news I read something today that I want to share:"There are no neutral thoughts". I have been thinking about itall day. Your thoughts are either negative, or positive.Think good thoughts people :-). Have a wonderful weekend.

About Me

I am a painter living in the beautiful moutain town of Taos New Mexico.
Artist Statement:
I have been painting since I was eight years old when I declared to my mother that I wanted to be an artist. She promptly went out and bought me an oil set. Perhaps not the wisest choice for a child, but it got me started. I have been painting ever since and my way of working and what I paint has changed dramatically over the years. At this point in time I am working with mixed media on board and canvas. Nearly every image starts with a dream, either waking or sleeping. Other subjects that inform my work are literature and nature. Each painting is for me an adventure in color and texture,an exploration of joy and a way for me to get to know myself better. There is always a personal narrative and some hidden message that I am unaware of until it reveals itself in the finished piece. My paintings are about whatever is going on in my life at the time I am painting. My intention when I do a painting is to be true to my authentic voice and perhaps to open someone's heart and mind to all the possibilities around them.
